CABLE-HANGING HOOK.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 694,677, dated March 4,1902. 7

Application filed November 4, 1 901. Serial No. 51,027. (N 0 model.)

To all whom, LU may-concern.-

Be it known that we, CARL P. SEYLER and PERRY H. AUXER, citizens of theUnited States, residing at Cleveland, in the county of Guyahoga andState of Ohio, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement inGable-Hanging Hooks, of which the following isa full, clear, andexact'description, reference being had to'theiaccompanyingdrawings. I

This invention relates to 'adevice for supporting a cablefor example,for the hanging of an electric cable from an overhead wire extendingparallel with it.

The object of the invention is to provide the hanging device in a'formwhich shall be very simple and cheap in construction, very easilyapplied, and very effic'ient and durable in operation. v v

To this end it consists, broadly, of a looped wire hook and a fiat bandadapted to pass through the loop and have'its ends held by the pliesthereof. The more particular embodiment of the invention herein shownand describedis also includedin our invention.

In the drawings, Figure l is a perspective view as used of thebest'ernbodiment of our invention at present known to us. Fig. 2 ishorizontal upper ply and two substantially.

parallel lowerplies a a Leading upward from one end of the ply a andfrom the opposite end of the ply a are the legs .a a which at theirupper ends are turned over to make the hooks a a The lower ply a is bentoutward and back on itself to form the U-shaped integral stud orlug a Aswillbe seen from Fig; 2, whenthe legs of thehook a a are substantiallyvertical the lug a projects diagonally downward.

The band B isa flat piece of metal-zinc, for example-and has one end I)lapping over the ply a of the hook. After passing over this ply the endmay be riveted to the rest of the band or it may be simplyheld theretoby being clamped by the spring-pressure of the plies a a between whichit passes and which hooked onto the stud a". of. these openings 12 asdesired, according to maybe sprung apart to receive it. This may beveryconveniently done, as the device is supplied for use with the bandsecured at one In use the free end I) of" the band B is passed aroundthe cable C and tucked through the loop-a, and an opening 19 in the bandis There are as many the use to which the band is to be put. When thushooked on, the weight of'the cable tends to draw the band more tightlyonto the stud a9, and the stud extending diagonally downward, as shown,securely holds the band in place.

It will be seen that the construction is extremely simple, cannot getout of order, and

requires no particular experience or dexterity which latter may beaccomplished with equal ease'by drawing the free end b of the banddiagonally downward and forward of the stud a and then letting it passback through the loop.

Having described our invention, we claim- 1. A cable-hanging deviceconsisting of a looped wire hook combined with a flat band having itsends held by the plies of the loop, substantially as described.

2. A cable-hangingohook consisting of a looped hook and a fiat baudhaving one end passing around one ply of the loop and the other passingthrough the loop and held to it, substantially as described.

3. A cable-hanging device consisting of a looped hook with a studprojecting from one ply of the loop, combined with a band secured at oneend to another ply'of the loop and hav ing a hole adapted to hook oversaid stud, substantially as described.

4. A cable-hanging device consisting ofa wire hook intermediately bentto form an integral projecting U-shaped stud, combined with a flat bandsecured at one end to the hook and having its other end perforatedwhereby it may hook over said'stud, substan- .one ply of said loop bentforward in a U shape to forma projecting stud, combined with a flat bandhaving one end passing around another ply of the loop and having itsfree end perforated to hook over the stud, substantially as described.

6. A cable-hanging device having a wire hook with vertical legs, ahorizontal loop, and a diagonally downwardly projecting stud, combinedwith a flat band secured at one end to one of the plies of said loop andhaving its other end perforated to hook over the stud, substantially asdescribed.

7. In a cable-hanging device, a wire hook having substantially verticallegs bent over at their upper ends to form hooks and at their lower endsbent horizontally toward each other to form a connecting-loop, one lowerply of the loop being bent forward and diagnally downward to form aprojecting stud, in combination with a fiat band secured to an otherlower ply of said loop and having its free end perforated, substantiallyas described.

S. A wire hook for a cable-hanging device having two vertical legs a abent over into hooks a a at their upper ends and connected 25 at theirlower ends by a horizontal loop having two lower plies a a the lower plya being intermediately bent outward and backward to form an integralU-shaped project-- ing stud a, substantially as described.

9. A cable-hanging device comprising a wire hook and a flat band securedthereto, the book being looped intermediately and the band having oneend passing around one of the plies of the loop and clamped by being 35squeezed between two adjacent plies of the loop, and means for securingthe other end of the loop, substantially as described.

In testimony whereof we hereunto aflix our signatures in the presence ofwitnesses.
